Earlier in 2013, a UCSB student referendum was passed that earmarked over $2 million for improvements to Pauley Track as part of a larger shared athletics facilities improvement. Consider contributing to the Gaucho Fund in order to ensure that the new track facility is unveiled as quickly as possible and is of the utmost quality.
